“For me it was a little bit of a mistake from his side to close the door like this.' 🗣️ Fernando Alonso has blamed Lewis Hamilton for their collision on the opening lap of the F1 BelgianGP ⬇️
“For me it was a little bit of a mistake from his side to close the door like this,” Alonso said. “At Turn 5 we’ve seen many, many times here that it goes parallel and it happened the same to him with Rosberg a couple of years ago [in 2014].
“I was very disappointed, when I start well on the first row or second row all these things happen and for sure I was frustrated in that moment. But he accepted his mistake and it is welcomed,” he explained. “I wanted to have a normal [start] and we started already with an incident and then we have a very aggressive strategy and stopping early every time. I don’t think it was the smartest one but at the end top five makes it a good weekend with Charles’s penalty.
